When the last strap tightened, she woke up.

“What’s going on?” she asked, looking down and seeing she was strapped to a gurney.

“We have to play it safe here. I can’t be sure you’re not contaminated with something until we get you checked out.”

“I’m immune. I can’t get sick.”

“We don’t know if you have a mutated virus. We need to protect us all.”

She struggled with the straps to no avail and after five minutes gave in.

Horton walked alongside the gurney as they sped through the hallways and passageways till they reached the state-of-the-art hospital that had been created on-site.

“I feel fine now. I’m telling you it was just something I ate. Please let me go,” Lori pleaded.

Horton placed his hand on her shoulder and said, “Lori, just let us do our due diligence, and we’ll know soon enough.”

Several medical personnel wheeled her into a room and closed the door, leaving Horton on the other side. All were wearing protective suits and worked quickly to diagnose her symptoms.

She lifted her head and looked around the room. It was no different than any hospital room she’d seen before. Medical equipment, monitors and one bed was in the room. Along the wall opposite the door were a line of cabinets and a counter.

They unstrapped her and transferred her to the bed, where again they fastened straps on her arms and legs.

“You don’t need to do that,” she said.

“It’s protocol,” one of them said.

Another came up to her, lifted her sleeve, wrapped an elastic tube around her arm, and said, “Pump your hand.”

She did as they said. A tinge of fear was etched on her face as she looked at the woman behind the mask sitting next to her, now armed with a needle.

Several veins enlarged in her arm.

With a needle in her hand, the nurse jabbed her vein and began to draw blood.

Lori rested her head back and closed her eyes. She thought to herself, Why is this happening?

The nurse finished and stepped to the counter with the vial.

Right behind her was another nurse with an electronic tablet. She looked down at Lori and asked, “How do you feel?”

Lori lifted her head again and said, “Fine, I’m telling you, it was something I ate.”

“Any pain?”

“No, nothing.”

“Nausea?”

“No, not anymore.”

“Allergies?”

“None.”

“Are you on any medications, including R-59?”

“Ahh, no, what’s R-59?”

The woman who had taken her blood turned around and said, “She’s clear, virus is present, no mutation found.”

The nurse with the tablet was tapping the screen with dizzying speed.

“Can you let me go?” Lori asked.

The nurse didn’t respond; she kept tapping on the screen.

“I heard the other nurse, I’m fine. Can I go now?”

The nurse looked up and acknowledged her but didn’t answer; instead she asked, “Any sexual activity within the last seven days?”

“That’s none of your business.”

“Are you pregnant?”

“No!” Lori screamed. Her patience had run out, and her anger had replaced the fear. She shot a glance to the small window in the door and saw Horton peeking in. “Chancellor Horton, tell them to let me go.
